You know those little jam jars that you get on airplanes and hotels?
They can be reused for a really cute craft project.
Simply make a few small holes with a thin nail in the lid, fill the jar with salt or pepper and voila,...you have the perfect salt and pepper shakers ever.
Great for your breakfast table and picnic.
If you take them on a picnic simply put a small piece of tape over the holes so that you don't get salt and pepper all over your basket.

And you can also use them for a dressing shaker: put oil and vinegar, salt & pepper and other spices. Shake it baby!
Posted by: Rhea Flohr | March 21, 2012 at 01:31 PM
Another good idea...you are really clever ! I have a lot of them. Let's go for some free presents ! Have a good day.

Looking for these jars but cant seem to find them. Any advice?
Posted by: Kendra | May 12, 2012 at 04:17 PM
Hey Kendra, my solution was using Gerber baby food jars.
Posted by: Miri | May 25, 2012 at 05:02 AM
I got some of the jars with jams in them from the store that sells salami/cheese. Also, delis have small jars.
Posted by: Juice | June 27, 2012 at 06:32 PM
love these, going to save my next empty jam jars and do this for sure. Thank you for such a neat idea and for your blog website too.
Posted by: JOANNE | June 27, 2012 at 08:33 PM
Can't wait to try this!
Posted by: Elizabeth | July 12, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Hi! I loved your cute salt and pepper shakers and shared them on Friday Finds today. Thanks!
Posted by: Laurel Stephens | July 13, 2012 at 09:30 PM
You could also use a slightly larger jar and fill with a seasoning mix. Would be good for seasoning steaks or chicken. Love this idea!

The tool features: sponge volume can be made relatively small, but it is soft curls, you can take to bed, an awakening of the United States and the United States go out without delay time.

Hinzugefügt weißen Spitzen Nähen, alle lebendig, obwohl es keine Farbe gibt es dagegen Material Kollision, und die scheuen und einfache Temperament zu erhalten.
